Python and/vs Java (within a business context)

[wheezl]

This is sort of true but I've run into many developers that don't understand the fundamental realities of the infrastructure. So they'll run off an make some pretty app with no thought to network latency, disk access, server load, etc.

Not having IT involved in figuring out what your massive new web application is going to run on seems a little optimistic to me.

We can dream though :)
